The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Congratulations to John Gray and Alex Hilton

Sorry if this is a bit late off the mark (and thanks to Modernity for posting on this already). John Gray and Alex Hilton must surely be very glad to be able to get on with their lives without a frivolous lawsuit hanging over them.

If you are unfamiliar with the case Jack of Kent has an excellent background post. Better to read that than read my mangled words!

the litigant was Johanna Kaschke who is not happy with the result. According to her Mr Gray is a fat ponze. I have no idea what a fat ponze is - there is no such word as ponze in the two vol version of the OED. I would suggest, using real words, that her attitude is ponerine if not downright musaceous!

About Me

Born Bonaparte O'Coonassa in Corkadoragha where the the torrential rains are more torrential, the squalor more squalid, the hopelessness more utterly hopeless than they are anywhere else. Actually I'm Shaun Downey and I live in Romford which is probably worse (Romford, that is, not my name!)
